Government Online Enrichment: Week 2
Hi, everyone! I am going to keep the class going. We all need to continue on. If you cannot complete any of these assignments, or do not have access, that is okay. Right now our mental and physical health of both ourselves and our loved ones is most important. I will not overload you, and the class will be practically the same, except we won’t do quizzes.
